[KURENAI NO BUTA] [紅の豚]
The title character of this "enthralling, endearing and mesmerizing piece of animation cinema" (Tom Mes, "The Midnight Eye Guide to New Japanese Film") is a swashbuckling tough guy aviator who just happens to be a pig. Taking off from his island hideaway, he pilots his bright red plane to do battle with pirates and other evildoers. In this eccentric adventure set in 1920s Italy, Hayao Miyazaki gives free reign to his well-known obsession with airplanes by creating numerous amazing scenes of aerial derring-do. The English-dubbed version features voices by Michael Keaton, Cary Elwes, Brad Garrett and David Ogden Stiers. DIR/SCR Hayao Miyazaki; PROD Toshio Suzuki. Japan, 1992, color, 94 min.
